This restoration presented some unique and interesting challenges. Firstly, the known surviving archive master by Studio H5 is a mixture of both interlaced and progressive scan clips that have been rendered as a single progressive scan source in PAL format. Interlaced video that has been re-encoded as progressive frames in this case wreaks havoc on the AI upscaling algorithm. The surviving master also has a low bitrate audio track of only 136kbps. However, there are multiple releases of this music video. It was included on a promotional DVD that had the audio track encoded at a much more desirable 384kbps. That DVD is in a completely interlaced format that could be interpolated up to 50fps with good quality retention, but its render quality is sub that of the known master, the DVD could even have been a VHS source copy by the looks of it. Furthermore, the DVD contains many different scenes entirely. For example girl trades stocks in an entirely rendered stock exchange vs works in the IT department in the DVD
